摘要
Billions of dollars are gushing into ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings). But with every dollar emerges more questions about what purchasers are actually getting. And as reality sets in, the law suits begin. (Tezos, on this program for after raising their record $232m, was just sued by CA Superior Court for violating securities laws & defrauding participants.) Today's guest, Andy Bromberg, is trying is steer this runaway train with a new financial services platform, CoinList, a kind of one-stop shop for compliance, anti-money laundering, vetting, investor accreditation & more. A collaboration of AngelList & Protocol Labs, CoinList ran Filecoin's massive $205m+ ICO and is now an independent management platform for all ICOs. Andy and Jason talk about the risks and rewards of this explosive token market, the problem of bad actors, bitcoin v. ethereum, proceeding boldly but cautiously, and much more.
